'Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Blazing' rumor: Pre-registration goes live; game exclusive to Japan?

"Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Blazing" is dropping in Japan later this year to iOS and Android devices. Naruto-Blazing.net

The newly announced "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Blazing" mobile game is already expected to come out soon, as publisher Bandai Namco announces that pre-registration is now open.

Fresh from the success of "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 4," Bandai Namco has just announced that a free-to-play mobile game for the franchise will come out sometime this year for Android and iOS devices. However, unlike the major franchise installments, "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Blazing" is more of a team-play fighting game than a 1-vs-1 "Ultimate Ninja Storm" brawler. In "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Blazing," players must create a team of three from the selection of ninjas in the "Naruto" world. It is unclear however, if there will also be a story campaign much like the previous games in the "Naruto" franchise.

Meanwhile, early registration for the game may entitle players some surprise bonuses. In a translated  website page by Shonengamez, it is said that early participants will get some bonus ninja gems as pre-registration rewards. In addition, a bonus "Naruto" character will be added as a character for players when pre-registration reaches 76,100 users.

According to Droid Gamers, one confirmed detail of the upcoming game is that players will have access to Ultimate Jutsus. Each character will have his/her own ultimate technique and reportedly, cut scenes for the in-game events will use the animations from the "Ultimate Ninja" series of games.

The industry follower also said that by the looks of things, it seems that "Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Blazing" is looking to be a Japan-only release. While Bandai Namco has yet to confirm this, it is highly unlikely that the game will be Japan-exclusive, given that the "Naruto" franchise has a huge following in the West. One of the most likely scenarios is that the mobile game will have an early release for Japan, with its global launch to follow soon.
